Migrainex Pressure Regulating Device #Sponsored #Review
"I have been given this product as part of a product review through my blog, . Although the product was a gift, all opinions in this review remain my own and I was in no way influenced by the company. "
Having migraine is like being a telepathic meteorologist. You can always sense (and feel) a change in the weather before it actually happens. Weather triggers are really hard to manage because you cannot control them. One of the most common weather-related triggers for people with migraine is changes in barometric pressure.
Barometric pressure, also known as atmospheric pressure, is the pressure exerted by the earth's atmosphere or the amount of force that is being applied to your body from the air. Changes in barometric pressure can bring on headaches and migraine because our sinuses are filled with air.1
In the past I would just have to grit and bear it when it came to migraines induced by pressure changes. I would mostly avoid any outdoor activities and try to use essential oils and other non-medicinal tools to counteract any possible oncoming migraine. They weren't 100% effective in stopping or reducing the severity of pressure induced migraines. It felt as though I had to just deal with these as they come, no matter what I tried.
The makers of MigraineX contacted me to try their product. MigraineX is a clinically proven pressure regulating device that provides a complete, and proactive way to manage weather-related migraines, before they start.
The MigraineX device are earplugs that you insert into your ears at the first sign of a headache with your regular medication. Place the device, one in each ear, for 2-4 hours or until symptoms have alleviated.
MigraineX is comprised of a ceramic inner filter that regulates air flow in and out of the ear canal. It has four rings to guarantee a snug yet comfortable fit and is made of soft, cleanable, hypoallergenic silicone.
The makers of MigraineX have also developed an app for use on either your iPhone or Android device. It's called MigraineX and it's free to download. In this version, no notifications of approaching storms or barometric events are sent to you. It works best if you check the app once a day. Hopefully sometime in early 2018, the app will be updated to include sending notifications. The current features are:
I first tried MigraineX over the Thanksgiving holiday. It was a very busy week preparing the dinner. The weather began to shift and I felt the pressure starting to build in my head, causing some pain. I checked the app and it confirmed that there was an upcoming change in pressure. I put in the earplugs, took some Aleve, and retreated to my dark room. Within a few minutes I began feeling a release of pressure. After about twenty minutes, the pain was gone. I kept them in while I was doing chores and was able to get a lot done without the usual grumblings of a migraine.
MigraineX has also come in handy during a migraine attack that was not brought on by pressure changes. Using the earplugs helps to alleviate a lot of the pressure that I feel in my head during an attack. I also find it useful to help block out unwanted and pain-inducing noises. MigraineX has a noise reduction rating of 20 decibels. The range of noise reduction rating for existing hearing protectors is approximately 0-30, with high numbers denoting greater effectiveness. So, it definitely works!
They come with a convenient case to keep them in, making them easily transportable and less likely to get lost. I will definitely be keeping them in my purse! I wish I had these for all of the times I was in urgent care or at the emergency room. Blocking out the noise and reducing the pressure and intensity in my head while being treated would have made the trips there much more bearable. I haven't needed to go to the urgent care since June, so hopefully I won't need to use them in that setting anytime soon (fingers crossed).
I highly recommend MigraineX as a useful and effective device for dealing with headaches and migraines, including sinus headaches, brought on by barometric pressure changes. To learn more about this product, visit www.migrainex.net for more information. MigraineX can be purchased at your local CVS Pharmacy or on Amazon (http://a.co/612KIsy). It comes in two sizes - adult and child. This device is a great addition to anyone's migraine and headache toolkit!
